Yes, I'm running wpa_supplicant with the following settings:
network={
ssid="xxxxx"
psk="xxxxx"
}
Other settings for the wireless card I have in rc.conf:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
ifconfig_wlan0_alias0="inet 192.168.0.12 netmask 0xffffffff"
The last messages seen on the console before the panic are wlan0:
ieee80211_new_state_locked: pending SCAN -> AUTH transition lost
and several UP/DOWN events.
